Come 10.30 am I was going nuts so grabbed the W H Monk and a belt full 1 1/8oz English 5s nitro cartridges and headed up the farm here at home.
My first shot was at crows I jumped but rushed the shot and missed just plucking a feather on my bird at less than 20yds.
I spied some pheasants a short walk later, they were looking for beech nuts. Shot number 2 was a hen going away at about 27yds, when Tia retrieved it I had to dispatch the bird.
Number 3 was a good cock bird. I stopped Tia and I walked on some, past some cover etc. I then signaled Tia to my left into the cover, soon a cock bird flew to my left real fast on the breese. I swung that light Monk through and down he come with a good tumble. I thought it was dead untill the dog got on it and it started running around! Tia managed to hold it and I assisted her with it. I shot this feller at over 30yds quartering away. Two not killed out right!
As with the other two shots the third was with the right barrel at 1/4 choke, a hen Tia put up in some tall clover, again not killed but at over 30yds.
Now I felt all I needed was another cock bird to go with this hen and shortly after Tia pops one out of a hedge in front of me. It rose fast and high on the light wind but this time this bird fell stone dead at what I would say was 30yds.
At that I called it quits, plenty of good eating again. The Lord has provided yet again and in such a pleasurable way
Hope you enjoy the pics.

It don't make it any easier having Pheasants waiting for me to throw them peanuts out of the window every morning.
